I have a 90' RS with a 3.1 and currently have no AC at all.It was removed before I got it.I have a chance to get an entire AC setup from an 86'Z28.Will any of the parts work from the Z28 on my car?Thanks

 

Anyone?

 

Everything but the brackets to mount the compressor to the engine. Hose length may be intersting, too.

Daily driver, work-in-progress (LG4 w/'87 LB9 block, ZZ3 cam, ported World 305 heads, Hooker headers & y-pipe, 3" Catco cat & 3" cat-back).
57 Bel Air, my 1st car. '66 396, 9.7 CR forged TRWs, Weiand Action+, Edelbrock 1901 Q-Jet, GK 270 cam, Magnum rockers, Jacobs Omnipack, 1-3/4" Hedders & 3" Warlocks, TH400 w/TCI Sat Night Special conv & Trans-Scat shift kit, MegaShifter, 3.08 8.2" 10-bolt w/Powertrax, AMSOIL syn lubes bumper-to-bumper. Idles smooth @ 600 RPM in D. Best 15.02/95.06 @ 5800' Bandimere (corrected 13.93/102.4 @ sea level).

 

So If I bought all the parts from the Z28 and got new brackets and hoses it would work?

 

No problem, the a/c in G.M. cars and light trucks are the same. The only differences have to do with hose lengths for various applications and the brackets for various engines, and of course the change from v belts to serpentine.

 

Thanks a lot for the info guys.

 

Be careful man, that 86 Z will have a V-Belt setup. Doesn't your car have the serp setup?
bsa

 

You will have to change the clutch over from
v belt to serpentine. It's not a big deal.
You need a G.M. clutch puller, and special snap ring pliers. Any a/c shop could change it over for you. If you walk in with the compressor and new pulley/clutch in hand, it shouldn't cost much to have them change it over for you.

 

Ya it is a serp setup.I never thought about that.Oh well. It's a hell of a lot cheaper to buy everything else used.Thanks man.

 

I have all the stuff from a 91 V6 car if your interested make me an offer. I have the lines and everything. Still had cold and I just removed it last Saturday.

Is the compressor also on the driver's side for a V8? I thought I remember seeing some funky-looking a/c hard lines on the passenger's side of the V8 I worked on lonnnng ago... brharris's deal would be the best bet.
